I have moved this function, as Thomas suggested. In principle I could
link to an outside source for entity XML, but since such an outside
resource is not in permanent sync with ours, we could have different
views of the same entity.
We could, of course think of providing a signed xml per entity, the
question is do we want to provide an official resource for downloading
metadata, while we still think that the only source of metadata should
be the home federation.

I have added an alert with a message telling the user about the purpose
of the listing, a slight nuisance for those who want to use that
properly, but possibly a small price to pay.

And the XML view has been fixed by Maja, so no lowercasing of the tags
any more.
